What's New
+ New Setting (default "on") to confirm commands unless user is clearly heard to say "No" or "Never mind"
+ Possible fix for phones that show EULA every time
+ Builds 135 and 136 worked poorly for many -- fixed? Sorry for the doubt, as all these work fine on my phone.

Just what I wanted I wanted a simple voice command app that didn't require internet access. This app works great on my galaxy exhibit. Haven't used it enough to give 5 stars yet.

Does not work with ICS I bought this app for my Sensation and it worked terrificly! I loved it. The only voice dialer app I could find that supported BT *and* voice confirmation. When I bumped my phone's version to Ice Cream Sandwich it failed to even load. I wrote the developer and he stated that my experience was expected and that he has no intention of supporting anything newer than Gingerbread, at least for now. Terribly disappointing. Update: Cyberon Voice Commander works similarly to Choice Dialer and it works with ICS. Bluetooth works and it provides voice confirmation before dialing. I don't like the voice of CVC as well but at least the developers have figured out how to make their product work with ICS instead of dropping their paying customers like a hot potato as Choice Dialer did to me.

Please make Choice Dialer Plus compatible with ICS Choice Dialer Plus was my application of choice for hands-free voice dialing -- until I got my new phone with Android 4.0. Now it won't run at all. Another user reports that the developer has no intention of making it compatible with Android 4.0. What a shame. Hope the report is not correct, but until it runs on ICS it gets one star from me.

Drive Safer Running flawlessly on Gingerbread (CM 7.2). Open apps, schedule events, play songs, and dictate email or text hands-free.

Every day use for 6 mos on Nexus S UPDATE: You don't know what you got til its gone. As the developer clearly states on the store this doesn't work with ICS. I updated to ICS before knowing this. Now having tried every other voice dialer I can find I can tell you I really miss Choice Dialer. My standard is I want to dial without looking at the screen and with confidence that I'm calling the right person. This means simple start up button + avatar voice confirmation of call target. Choice Dialer worked better in practice than anything else. Developer is great and I'll be back when the ICS version is up. ORIGINAL POST: I used the built in voice dialer on Treo and Bberry for 5 years. Switched to Android 6 months ago. A solid voice dialer with audio confirmation is a must have for me. This is the best I have found on Android. I have >600 contacts and it does a great job. Quirky infrequently so giving it 4 stars. Works with handset, speakerphone, or connected to Jawbone Icon bluetooth set. Long push on Icon will kick off voicedialer with handset out of reach. I use Widget locker to put CD+ on unlock screen for fast access.
